The Monroe County Gigabit Project meeting and Pennsylvania Accelerator Awards presentation has been rescheduled to Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. Last December, the Pennsylvania Acceleration Project collected nominations for its first annual Pennsylvania Accelerator Awards.

At the January 18th meeting, the Pennsylvania Acceleration Project will present the 2017 Pennsylvania Accelerator Awards to deserving organizations and individuals that have advanced the acceleration of technology, technology-infrastructure and workforce training across Pennsylvania.

Also at the meeting, there will be several more important updates for the Monroe County Gigabit Project.

Without precedent in the United States, the Monroe County Gigabit Project recently announced two (2) Gigabit investments made in Monroe County, by PenTeleData and NCN Data, Inc., both without taxpayer funding. These investments were promulgated and promoted in part by and through the RFP issued by the Monroe County Gigabit Project.

Monroe Gigabit Project meetings are hosted by the Monroe 2030 Action Team, Pocono Mountains Economic Development Corporation, East Stroudsburg University, and the ESU Center for Research and Economic Development.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP by visitingwww.esu.edu/gigabit
